Talking of simplest, I bought a wonderful alarm clock recently. It has
four functions: Current time; Alarm Time; Temperature and one I've
forgotten (it's in our other house, 580 miles away).
It has only two buttons; one that allows to to say "I want to change
this" and the other one that allows you to step through the possibilities.
The really fun aspect is how you decide which of the four functions it
displays. The clock is roughly cubical, and the display is square. The
four functions are labelled along the four sides of the display; you get
whichever function is at the top of the display, when you rotate the clock.
It came without instructions; they were not necessary. This should be
the goal of application developers.

Excellent. Thank you. Now, a specific question, if I may, per this
app,
Screen A
Signup ( could it simpler?)
Screen B
Project/Task/Activity vs Project/Task/Activity NOW vs Project/Task/
Activity Now
which one seems most easy for a user to understand (this means to
enter an Activity that he/she is going to work on immediately)?
Screen C
For the 3 funtion buttons
Here we have no idea what a user will do in terms of What (thing) and
When (time) hence current design of
Save (save this activity or activity at hand)
Save & Next Acitivity (save this activity and start work on another
one, continuous motion)
Next Activity (Well, the user takes a break something, just come back
-- a span of inactivity, now wants to start an activity)
What other alternatives might be easier for a user to understand? The
user is supposed to be reasonably intelligent (college crowd type or
the like).
Many thanks.
